Sanctions against Russia

[willedoo]

Edit to a previous post. If this drone footage screen grab is genuine, then the fire is out. A lot of damage. Euromaidan Press said it's the Black Sea Fleet's reserve storage, but I don't know if that's correct or not.

May just be very BRAVE. Don't think too hard about it or you'll ruin the story.  Nev

Nev, I see those accessorised toyotas in just about every news clip that reports on yet another civil rebellion.

[kgwilson]

The red one looks to have a giant bottle of plonk on top or maybe it's a molotov cocktail. Good to fry a few jihadists.

YES BECAUSE they take the Liberty of having a great big TOYOTO sign pressed into your tail gate. Bit "UN Cool" if you consider the aesthetics..   I suppose they all look much the same so It's become the norm. But it's not on  cars. THEY aren't so obviously MACHO.. They're all playing  games with these trucks you need a ladder to get into, that go around roundabouts like a war tank on iced grease and the tyres sound like the Diffs are stuffed. SOME of them are pretty IMPRESSIVE but perhaps the performance is ahead of the Mission Purpose?   But like a street bike that can do 260 Kmh. Nev

I know I'm in sacred ground but step outside the  general concept acceptance and marketing and have a critical look at it just for the fun of it.  Nev

Remember when Toyota got quizzed about the hundreds of brand new Landcruiser and Hilux utes showing up in ISIS hands.

I wonder what the deal is with the drone strikes on the Kremlin. Russian media is quoting the Kremlin as saying it was an assassination attempt on putin, who they say wasn't there at the time. They are claiming two drones, both shot down and falling in the Kremlin grounds. There's video doing the rounds on social media showing one drone being shot down in the Kremlin grounds. The question is - did the Ukrainians do it, did Russian partisans do it, or did the Russian authorities do it themselves as a false flag. I'd put my money on the latter.

 

 

[willedoo]

I definitely suspect BS on the attack being done by Ukraine. putin's annual Victory Day parade is in six days time, and for the second year in a row, he has to stand and deliver a speech which attempts to put lipstick on a pig, ie: Russia's failed war. He speech this year will focus on the fact that the Nazi's have struck at the very heart of Russia, it's us against them etc, etc., same old dribble. The Kremlin has also predictably said that they reserve the right to retaliate in whichever way they choose.

 

They've also said putin wasn't there and is working at the presidential residence in the western suburbs. There's a lot of logistics in launching such an attack from Ukraine. Wouldn't you think they'd at least find out where putin is before launching an assassination attempt on him. And then after a failed attempt, why would the Kremlin tell the world where putin really is. Smells fishy like everything coming out of the Kremlin.

I must say I'm amazed the Russian FSB hasn't already caught the perpetrators of the drone attack, identified the drone models used, where they were purchased, the car the drone terrorists used - as well as producing mugshots of the terrorist "Nazis", manacled and being sent to a Siberian gulag.

[facthunter]

It doesn't have to be convincing . He's just feeding the chooks.  HE's also acting like  a "Fraidy Cat" paranoid about being KNOCKED OFF by everyone.  Nev

They're probably looking for Ukrainians. Would make more sense to look for Russians.

Just goes to show you don't have to be smart to be a politician. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said Zelensky could have avoided the war simply by saying that he wouldn't join NATO. But the clanger is that he went on to say Zelensky was pressured by the Biden administration and by violent fascist elements within the Ukrainian government to let the U.S. place nuclear-capable Aegis missile launchers along Ukraine’s 1,200-mile border with Russia. What a peanut. That's 100% untrue. There are no Aegis missile systems in Ukraine. One Aegis Ashore system was deployed in Romania under the Obama administration, and a second in Poland was started during Trump's term. It's scary to think the clown is actually running for president next year.

I thought the strongest sperm got to the egg, not the dumbest.

[kgwilson]

In Trumps conception all of the sperm that got there were dumb. The smart ones bailed out when they figured out what the end result would be.

[red750]

Looks like that drone attack on the Kremlin may have been done as an excuse to start the new offensive.

[nomadpete]

My guess is that if the Ukranians were to send a couple of drones all the way to Putin's place, they would wait to do it when Putin was home.

 

Or wait until Putin is on the rostrum on the Victory Day parade. Now that would be a believable tactic.

 

Meanwhile, Kremlin is telling Russians that it was all Washingtons idea. Nah, even the yanks would plan better than sending drones to an empty house!

Even if the Ukrainians did do it, so what? Look at what Putin has done..

 

Not to mention the many failed operations to try and take Zelensky's life.. Putin wasn't counting on Zelensky's bravery and charisma.. I bet..

I was just sayin....

It's insulting the Ukranians to suggest they might try such a poorly planned assassination. Esp when they seem to display a lot of smart strategy. Besides, they stand a better chance of winning their country back if Putin stays. Who knows what will happen if Putin is suddenly gone? The devil you know, etc.

Sorry Nomad.. I meant my post as a more general point than specifically in response to you previous post.
